TechSpyer Digital Camera Buyer's Guide

Using this handy digital camera buyers guide, you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about digital cameras at TechSpyer. We break the sometimes daunting subject of digital cameras down into one easy to understand guide.
Look for the Most Megapixels in Your Digital Camera
Digital camera picture quality or resolution is controlled by the number of megapixels the digital camera has.  Generally, the more megapixels, the better the picture is.  Most digital cameras these days have at least 3-5 megapixels for the less expensive point and shoot digital cameras or compact digital cameras and up to 12 megapixels for high end professional digital cameras.  More megapixels mean sharper pictures and larger file sizes.  With a higher resolution, you can have larger photos from your digital camera while still maintining a clear image.  With the price of memory cards dropping, the larger file size is less of a problem than it used to be.
Got enough memory for your digital camera?
Make a note of the type of memory card your camera takes.  Some cameras have internal memory, so you can still snap photos when you don't have a memory card, but usually this is a small amount, say 64MB or less.  Common digital camera memory card types are SD, CompactFlash and Memory Stick, and they come in sizes all the way up to about 32GB, though it is usually cheaper to go with several smaller ones, because you can easily swap out memory cards.  Most new laptops and even some flatscreen tvs have memory card slots for easy transfer and viewing of pictures taken with your digital camera.  See our vast selection of camera memory cards
Digital Camera Optical vs. Digital zoom
Digital cameras with optical zoom work like binoculars, physically moving the lenses to change the magnification.  This results in a much cleaner zoom with no loss in quality.  Lower end digital cameras or compact digital cameras will usually not have an optical zoom or maybe 1-3x digital zoom only.  Midrange digital cameras will have up to 10x optical zoom.  Digital zoom on a digital camera simply takes pixels from the image and enlarges them, distorting the image in the process, giving the image a grainy texture.
